This episode is ready to rip out of the mint-sealed box, Goosebuddies! In this Adventure! episode Dom leads Paul and Chad through the Give Yourself Goosebumps book: Toy Terror. Can the boys survive this toy factory and help these plastic people find independence? They also discuss The World Tree of Ska, Second Skin the horror documentary Second Skin, The Monty Hall "Problem", and cool Mac tattoos.

Dom, Paul, and Chad watch two "classic" episodes of the Goosebumps TV series. First, "Don't Wake Mummy", a pretty mundane tale of a scaredy boy and his sister whose archaeologist mother commits mail fraud and brings a real ancient pharaoh into their basement. And worst of all; he may become a real, living murderer! As opposed to a zombie one.
Up next is the show-exclusive "Click" which so clearly inspired the Adam Sandler emotional comedy. Watch as a boring kid buys a magic remote and only uses it to get the newspaper. Also the boys discover a secondary background TV show that is way more interesting than the episode we're watching.
We hope you enjoy our occasional dips into the silver screen of spooks!

DING DONG Goosebuddies! Chad, Dom, and Paul read The Cuckoo Clock of Doom; a time traveling horror story where the greatest fear is having your diaper changed by your mother. In this story a child reverses the bird on an antique wooden clock and is forced to relive his childhood in reverse, doing nothing to change his fate. Chad thinks this is the worst book yet while Paul loved it; so this is a real divider.
The boys also talk about George Romero's Monkey Shines, wheelchairs you blow into, a strange alternative satire called 'SFW', that dude who got his weiner cut off in the 90s, jackin 'em up, Jarhead movie sequels, and again cover the perfect way to get away with murder using time travel.
Your wish is granted Goosebuddies- it's a new Adventure! episode! Chad's your DM as he reads Dom & Paul a Give Yourself Goosebumps book: The Scream of the Evil Genie. But watch out because this carbonated conjurer is taking every wish very subjectively. And the kids are real dumb.
The boys also talk about which Muppet Baby was murdered, Unsolved Mysteries, and invent a new game based around a nationwide manhunt. Bonus: Enjoy the sound of Chad's bird Samson chirping all the way on the other side of his house!

Happy holidays, Goosebuddies! It's a new year! Hopefully we're all still alive and the robots haven't taken us yet! Speaking of being alive... the boys have dug into a Goosebumps: Most Wanted tale about holiday undead (that really don't do much other than guilt trip ya). Preceded by an opening prologue that is the darkest thing RL has ever written, we read the tale of Kate Welles who just wants the lead in a play that would never be allowed on stage, let alone in high school. And Chad falls on his sword arguing that the production is a stealth Halloween story. There's sorta some playing around with the idea of "Christmas spirits" and a missed opportunity to play off A Christmas Carol, but otherwise this is a holiday book we guess.
Also the boys talk weird church experiences, eating communion bread for fun, and discovering the dark joy of Victorian Christmas cards. Enjoy the episode. Merry Slinksmas!

Note: Apologies for the weird audio on Chad, buddies. He had to record this in his parents' basement while visiting in Indiana and as we all know audio just sounds different in the midwest.
Adventure abound! Paul takes Dom and Chad through a particularly gruesome Give Yourself Goosebumps book-- Welcome to the Wax Museum! Gasp in glee as the story leads you along on a literal treadmill! Cheer as children murder adults in boiling wax! And learn about RL's potentially coolest monster character... that we never actually meet.
The boys also discuss how to spice up professional sports, the lost magic of the XFL, crow crime scene investigations, exciting ways to fight for net neutrality, slime fetish videos, and invent a new cryptocurrency!

A new Goosebuds is upon you. Dom, Paul, and Chad enter Terror Tower for a tale of torture devices, royal child murder, and surprisingly... time travel! It's actually mostly about time travel! That dude on the cover is barely a factor. Huh. Maybe time and the ever-approaching finality of death is the most terrifying thing of all.
The boys also discuss passive aggressive parking tickets, a new yet familiar justice system, how the boys would like to die, and a marketing strategy way for Crackle Barrel. Carpe Noctis.

Happy Halloween, Goosebuddies! Chad, Dom, and Paul bring back the Ghoulastic Book Club format (yes, that's totally a thing we've done that one time) and tackle a particularly spooky R.L. Stine book: Fear Street Cheerleaders! Will this more adult kids book have raised stakes? Will the boys be able to relate to a tale about teenage girls? Will Chad overdose tonight on Twizzler Bits?
Besides discussing this tale of creepy cheerleaders, the boys talk defending Tom Hanks and The Burbs, Boxer's Omen, hobo steak, and why Lifesavers candy is called that.
Happy Halloween, friends!

In this episode the Goosebuds Boys discuss what's beneath the Planet of the Apes, movies that are "Halloween Enough", and Dank Bombs. They also read through another Give Yourself Goosebumps book. In this Adventure! episode, Dom (and a glass of wine) serves as your Book DM taking Paul, Chad, and yourself through The Deadly Experiments of Dr. Eeek! In this narrative laboratory maze, every ending sucks. You guys recommended this book and we now know how much you hate us.
